Among his talents are those of narrator, vocalist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, photographer, multimedia / print /audio / video / radio /web producer and designer. He uses these talents in a wide range of both commercial projects and artistic endeavors.

But his true love is music – and he’s been writing and recording since he was 10.

Born in New York City, he grew up throughout the greater New York area, where he listened to the radio, sang, and taught himself piano and guitar at home. It was during this time that he started experimenting with writing and recording multiple parts, on a reel-to-reel recorder his dad had brought to their home in the northwest Bronx.

Fast forward through over 20 years, during which he picked up drums and bass, played and sang on other people’s music sessions and live gigs… and he recorded, and recorded… and recorded.

His first release, New Eye, was released in 2007 – nineteen tracks that run the gamut from Rock to Power Pop to long-form instrumental – all composed, arranged, performed and recorded by Mark.

It was met with critical acclaim across the board.
